Hello

I have been playing helldivers 2 since shortly after launch, but have not really bought many war bonds due to a lack of funding.

I have almost saved up enough super earth credits to buy one, and I was going to buy one with cash as well.

Which 2 would you guys recommend?

I play a lot of solo, but have been grouping with randos recently to play the higher difficulties and to get the pink samples.

Democratic detonation has been one of the best for a long time. Gives you lots of different options in terms of loadouts. Not sure if it's still considered best compared to the newer options though.

    Yep, it's been king ever since they buffed the hell out of the crossbow and eruptor. Thermites are amazing. Grenade pistol lets you have alot of loadout variety. Adjudicator's still a solid rifle, just mind the recoil.

    All the newer warbonds are kinda niche, or just for fun/style, and they have less content which is annoying

    Yup I've been running the grenade pistol since that one dropped, its such a great side arm.

    I saw someone with a laser pistol as a side arm the other day (I think?) which seems kind of cool, I run the Scythe cause I hate managing my ammo, but if I had an unlimited side arm I think it might open up new options.

    The dagger's (laser pistol) alright, it's not very high damage but it can set stuff on fire I think.

    If you want unlimited sidearm, the talon's amazing for that, in the borderline justice warbond. You can almost use it as a primary weapon.

    For higher difficulties, I usually roll with ultimatum. It's nice having a pocket orbital strike for when big stuff gets in your way.

    Shockingly that is the only one I already unlocked with collected warbonds from the drop ships and caves!

    I am thinking Siege Breakers currently since I have seen tons of people using the Leveler at higher levels of difficulty.

    Still stuck on the second one though, wouldn't mind another fun primary weapon as I usually run the Scythe, Slugger, or Punisher.

    I like playing against Illuminate and Bots, don't really find bugs that enjoyable yet.
